You will just build a 4" lift kit and tell everyone it's better than the other 4 kits.
I have 35s on my disco. I actually wheel my truck. No cheesy metal bumpers, roof racks, winches, stupid gas cans, roof racks with lights, skid plates or any of that other **** you sell to yuppies to put on their grocery getters. I think it would be awesome if you made a huge lift kit. There are so many ****box d2s out there that I think it's worth it to buy a 1000 truck and put an 8 inch lift and 37s on it
Are you saying that we @ L8 don't wheel our trucks??????? Did we see you at Conclave? Winter Romp? SCARR? Rovers at Wintergreen? Spring URE?

First, Id love to know which 4 kits are available that clears a true 33.

Second, please tell us of all your modifications you've made.

We can make a huge lift all day long, but it wouldn't help the community.

Do you and Lucky8 have a NY vs. NJ rivalry going or something? I'm not sure I understand your logic here:

-Gas cans are stupid? I always thought the guy on the side of the trail on Empty was the dumb one.

-Roof racks are bad also? I guess you could always yank a 10ft flat bed down the trail or tell the passengers to walk.

-Off road lights, no good too? Do you real wheelers use night vision goggles or something to see in the dark?

-No Winches either? Some would say you're not really off-roading unless you were forced to use your winch.

I always thought Snooki and Jwoww were the dumbest people in Jersey, but you are giving them a run for the money.

This is news to us too. We're just trying to provide viable options to people and this guy wants me to turn my D2 into Gravedigger.

You can never please everyone in life, all you can do is try your best. In my opinion you will sell far more 2,3 and 4" lifts then you would 8" monster lifts, so I like the setup. You will always find some joker that thinks every 4WD needs to touch the sky (usually they are 16-20 years old).

I'm just happy there is a company out there still putting together new kits and products for my beloved Disco.
Thanks and keep up the good work.

You can already get yourself a D2 monster truck from the UK:

also those silly seat cushions and leather are useless. naked booty on heating element gives a much better feel for your line.

We appreciate the kind words. That is exactly it. We will continue to make kits as long as there are people like you willing to wheel their Rovers!

No, I'm saying the people who buy your **** don't wheel their trucks. (when we go wheeling, I have the only land rover I have ever seen in the woods.) So I'm suggesting that you build something that people who wheel their trucks buy. I have OME extra heavy duty springs in the front. 2" front shock spacers, 3" ford leaf spring blocks in the back, and ford rear shocks. 2" hockey puck body lift. 35" A/T's. You are really selling a kit for 1800 bucks that someone can piece together for 250 bucks? Doesn't seem like you want to help the rover community, seems like you want to line your pockets. I paid 200 bucks for my truck. I see you guys with THOUSANDS of dollars of **** bolted onto your 10,000 trucks and for what? so you can drive up a snowy road? How is that cool at all? You could just buy a deuce for 5K, bob it, and have the most badass truck ever. All I said was that a disco on 33's is weak and suggested you build a kit that was big, and you got all butthurt. I'm not attacking you, I was just stating (what i thought was) the obvious.

Oh and I'm on this forum all the time trying to help the community work out problems with their trucks. I looked through the 3 pages of your posts and 98% of your posts are you trying to sell parts to people. You use the forum to advertise and drum up business. So don't tell me you are trying to "provide for the community" your just trying to make a buck.
